St Calamity's School is staging a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Unfortunately, all does not go according to plan. There are costume failures, prop and set disasters, mis-timed entrances and exits, and missing and injured actors during the performance. Apart from a short prologue, all the lines are taken directly from Shakespeare's script, although all the lengthy speeches have been cut to enable younger children to access the play. The play was performed with great success by a group of ten and eleven year olds in 2016.

This is a fantastic way to introduce children to Shakespearean performance. The prologue is the only material addedd to Shakeapeare's script, apart from clear stage directions.
